The SpaceShipTwo is a suborbital, air-launched spaceplane designed for space tourism. SpaceShipTwo is carried to its launch altitude by a jet-powered mothership, the White Knight Two, before being released to fly on into the upper atmosphere, powered by a rocket motor. It then glides back to Earth and performs a conventional runway landing.
Here we see an in air rendezvous with White Knight Two and SpaceShipTwo during the unveiling of the sustainable new Terminal 2 home in San Francisco and celebrates with a "Fly into the Future."
